Israel going too mask off threatens to unite the Arab world and kick off a much bigger conflict that would threaten US interests. The cooler heads at the pentagon sent out a memo to all their media assets telling them to crank the "nuance meter" slightly more towards the Palestine side to send a message to Bibi to fucking cool it or he's gonna be looking as less concrete western support.

There are several governments talking about banning pro-Palestinian protests, so I’d say they are definitely working as a warning of what’s to come if there isn’t some kind of shift in policy. I don’t buy for a second the idea that now is the moment that everyone started actively caring about protecting Jews.
